It&#8217;s also what some new investors are looking for when they start hunting for their new duplex.

		<description><![CDATA[On real estate blogs across the nation new investors ask for guidance as to what is a &#8220;good&#8221; gross rent multiplier (GRM) on multi family property.

Then the housing crisis happened. And in an effort to make sure buyers had more at stake, banks decided they would only give loans to investors with 20 to 25 percent down, or owner occupants who qualified for [...]]]></description>
